'Ghansi Nepal with affected schools' is a three-year project that will start on November this year and continue till February, 2018.Principal Akash Adhikari of Ghansi International School said, "More than 7,000 schools were devastated in the earthquake which means that thousands of students are being deprived of education. Through this project, we plan to build 300 classrooms by February, 2018. It might not be a lot but we hope our action will encourage other organizations to follow suit."
He went on to state that Ghansi would focus on remote areas and would be using earthquake resistant materials to build the new school buildings. Each building will be of the same size with either three or five classrooms. Ghansi Nepal will also look for support from the local government administration and local social groups.
"Any kind of support, whether physical or economic, will be welcome," said Adhikari.
Education Minister Chitra Lekha Yadav, who was present as the chief guest, stressed on the importance of education especially in today's time. "Development is not possible without education," she said as she congratulated Ghansi Nepal on their work in the field of education over the years.
